French Navy Atlantique heading north across the UK - coasted in over Littlehampton, second chance for my Worthing chum to hear RR Tynes this week - if perchance he's awake...

Bloody hell, are they invading? 
I seem to recall conversation about the Italians doing NATO stag duty in Iceland recently, is it the French's turn, having noted the FrAF C160 heading south from points north a couple of days ago?

USAF KC-46 heading east through the Western Approaches towards the Brizzle Channel - noticed one a few months ago on ADS-B Exchange heading into Europe - are they becoming regular yet?
Not regulars yet, as far as I'm aware, I haven't noted any previously. It followed the usual Reach ENE track over the northern Home Counties.

That's what the other one I noticed did, into Ramstein I think.
Incidentally, re the USAF C-17s avoiding Belgium, noted one that routed west directly over here yesterday, out of Brussels!
At least one RAF F-35 disporting itself off Whitby, playmates appear to be a pair of FR Falcon 20s... I thought we didn't do war at Weekends?

A400 ZM404 RRR478 annoying everyone in the Chanel Islands this afternoon. Not sure what misdemeanour you have to be caught doing, to be sent out to do circuit bashing on a Saturday afternoon
